Flatline

I wish I could be a spectator of life

And not participate in it

How much easier would it be to be alive 

You'd have no purpose and be fine with it

You wouldn't feel any pain 

Or the weight on your shoulder to make something out of yourself

The pressure to become somebody

You would observe other people's ups and downs 

And be just a straight flat line

No real heartbeat 

No real conflict

That would be nice

But I am a spectator of life

The problem is that it is a problem

Isn't everything a problem anyway?

Our desires always seem simple and logical

But they are complex 

So complex we don't understand it ourselves

We think that if we want then we'll be okay

It doesn't always work

The tranquility of being a flat line

That's my fantasy

Flatline, you just changed the meaning of it on your own way, in your beautiful stressed and desiring words....I enjoyed your inner joy in words..:)
